LYRICS

Water over smooth stones, stones
Water over smooth stones, stones
Water over smooth stones, stones
Water over where, water over water over

Every now and then I get a tap up on my shoulder
Turns me right round to check, no one's standing over, soldier
Message coming up from down deep: you're looking too comfy, it's time to wake the beast
Acquiesce by stripping and lacing up my shoes
Rainstorms showers grey skies it's moot
Find my power my soul will bruise
Hour of pain to find these clues
Nervous steel rises from feet quick to grab
Heartbeat pumpin up fast fast fast
Thought train switching tracks from tact to primal man
Desperation clutching my stride, holding me back. Fuck that.
The hurt shows me my strength: an underground love ever flowing so true
Playful nature laughing as it's shining right through
Shimmering reflection shows me that it's you, you.

Water over smooth stones, stones
Water over smooth stones, stones
Water over smooth stones, stones
Water over where, water over water over

Wet ejection from the depths bubblin to the surface
Abundance of affection, exerted with a purpose
Pour it over every single lover friend and family, candidly
I'm expressing best wishes for all humanity.
Consider each one closely for a hundred yards
Conversations from the past they form our stories arc
And they are streaming out far in front of me
Anticipation of the branching probabilities
Each person hanging as a portrait in my favorite room
Different color pallettes twisting with dynamic hues
The mannerisms tones looks and the words they choose
I hear the inner dream, that is unique to you
And although it seems, that we are separate beings
I see a lot of us dealing with the same things.
All of you are the most important to me
Kindness and truth until the end.
